Have a large rooster found this morning in barn that doesn't lift head. Picking at feed and water and seems aware and reacts to me. His crown is bloody, only injury that I noticed. Don't know if possum or raccoon did this last night. Could the other roosters have done this to him?
 
It is very possible that another rooster could have done this to him. I had 2 roosters that got into a fight which ended up with 1 of them having a very badly injured comb. Mine also wasn't lifting his head and was very sleepy, kept closing his eyes etc.
Just make sure he has a lot of water to drink and maybe put some electrolytes in it so he can build up some more energy. Also give him some shade to rest in.
There is also a possibility that he may have injured his neck a lot, so keep an eye on it for around 4 days and if it gets worse or he looks weaker take him to the vets. Hope this helps x
